I Am

They never talk or listen to me

I sit in the corner waiting to be included

But it doesn't happen

I am but a shadow in their world

Something that is cast away, carelessly

They laugh and they joke but the Queens

don't dain to speak to a peasant such as me

I've always been this way and I always will

I am but a shadow in their world
